Engineer II, Golang - (Observability Platform, Tech Foundations)

We are on the lookout for a talented Engineer II, Golang - Observability Platform to join our Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) team on our journey to #alwaysDeliverAmazingExperience.

As a member of the Tech Foundation - Developer Platform, you'll support Delivery Hero’s rapid innovation and growth. You'll work on foundational systems that enable faster feature development, security, and reliability across our global engineering community. Every enhancement you make will contribute to our teams' ability to build, scale, and deliver quality features—ultimately impacting millions of users worldwide.

You will join our Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) organization, specifically the Observability team. We are a platform team responsible for building and maintaining the core infrastructure that empowers all other engineering teams at Delivery Hero to effectively monitor their services. Our mission is to ensure seamless telemetry ingestion, from the various services across the company to our observability vendor. We also manage the company's alerting and synthetic monitoring products, ensuring engineers can promptly react to regressions and efficiently debug distributed outages.

This role offers a unique opportunity to blend software engineering with crucial aspects of systems engineering, as a significant portion of our work involves OpenTelemetry collectors configurations and extensive use of Terraform.

In this team you will:

• Design and develop robust, scalable, and high-performance GoLang software solutions for critical observability tooling, including our telemetry ingestion pipelines.

• Implement and manage OpenTelemetry collector configurations to ensure efficient and standardized data collection across diverse services.

• Utilize Terraform extensively to provision and manage our observability infrastructure.

• Collaborate with engineering teams across Delivery Hero to understand their telemetry needs and provide effective solutions for monitoring, alerting, and debugging.

• Maintain coding standards and actively participate in code reviews, ensuring a high-quality, maintainable, and efficient codebase.

• Identify, troubleshoot, and resolve complex technical issues in both software and infrastructure, continuously seeking opportunities to optimize performance and scalability of our observability platform.

What you need to be successful:

• This is a software engineering role, therefore we expect strong proficiency in GoLang, with the ability to write clean, efficient, and maintainable code in a production environment. 

• Experience with cloud services (AWS, GCP) and understanding how to leverage them for scalable and resilient solutions.

• Familiarity with containerization technologies (Docker) and orchestration systems (Kubernetes), facilitating the deployment and management of applications.

• Possess a solid understanding of scalable distributed systems and event-driven architecture, with a track record of making appropriate architectural trade-offs.

• Strong communication skills with the ability to work effectively in a team environment and collaborate with stakeholders across different disciplines, units and timezones.

Nice to have:

• Experience with managing telemetry ingestion infrastructure, particularly with Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry.

• Hands-on experience with Terraform for infrastructure as code.

• Knowledge of modern observability concepts and best practices (e.g., SLIs, SLOs, error budgets).

• Prior experience in a platform engineering or SRE role.
